About 200 pupils of Jirandogo Presby Primary and Junior High school are suffering from inadequate teachers, furniture and learning materials in the school.
From the look of things, if care is not taken, many of the children may end up being school drop out due to the negligence of authorities responsible for providing necessities for the school.
When Soireenews visited the school, it was observed that the students learn on their own whilst teachers are unavailable to teach.

Sometimes, the teachers also are in school whereas the students absent themselves especially in the rainy seasons where they prefer farming to education.
According to the students, they are demoralized whenever is time for school, thinking of sitting on the bare floor to write due to the availability of educational materials.
They added that they have only three teachers in the Junior High School, and they normally share the subjects among themselves which is very tedious.
The students emphasized that some of the subjects which they will be writing during their final exams are not being taught as they speak.

Subjects like Information Communication Technology(ICT), Ghanaian language (Twi) are not been taught as a result of inadequate teachers.
Mr John the Assemblymember of the area said, "we use to organise voluntary teachers to assist the schools and the Ghana Education Service office at Kpandai gave directives to do away with them in a sense that, new teachers will be posted to the school till date.
"So we are pleading to the and Non-Governmental Organisation, opinion leaders and stakeholders to come to our aid with teaching and learning materials"
